Very few good things in life grow quickly. Obviously “quickly” is a relative term, but for the sake of the moment, just consider the time that it takes for something like a tree to grow to full fruit-bearing strength. Or consider the investment of time and energy that it takes to see a little baby … More Good things take time
Every year our friends here in Konomala have a New Years celebration of sorts. For the most part it just serves as an excuse to get together, eat some food, and have a good time as a family. But as is the case with most gatherings, it’s too good of an opportunity for the leaders … More “be better”

“I am the problem” That small phrase has been at the center of many hours of conversations with our friends here in Konomala lately.

Useless fact of the day: one of the rides was called “the Phoenix”. That specific ride has … More the ‘ups’ and ‘downs’
Let’s be honest. All too often we expect God to work within our time frames and within our step by step expectations. Then we feel frustrated when things don’t go the way we expect in our own lives or in the lives of people around us. We get so easily distracted by doing things for … More a patient work
an in-between time It’s hard to believe that we can say this, but we have finished all the tasks, analysis, and reports that were on the have-to-do list. In the big picture this whole language thing went pretty quick, but the days sure were long. Thousands of hours after we started, we can fluently speak … More on your mark, get set
Happy thanksgiving, friends! We’re in the fall season here in PNG too. It’s hot, muggy, sometimes rains, sometimes there’s a breeze, and we pretty much break a full sweat walking across the yard … feels just like home.
